Draymond Green has actually done it once again.
And it appears the NBA is done messing around.
Green was suspended previously in the season for choking Rudy Gobert from behind throughout a fracas in between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves. In spite of that five-game suspension, Green does not appear to be tamping down his design of play. He was provided a Flagrant 2 and ejected on Tuesday night after clobbering Jusuf Nurkic.
Green has actually been suspended forever by the NBA, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. You can see the play here:
Green will go through therapy, and needs to satisfy particular requirements before going back to the lineup.

Following the video game, Green did ask forgiveness in his post-game interview. It was a rather odd apology, as Green made it clear that he was asking forgiveness since he did not plan to strike Nurkic.
